66% of Parisians voted today to create 500 additional pedestrian streets, replacing over 10,000 parking spots with green space and enhanced pedestrian infrastructure. 📍 Paris 🇫🇷

Having watched that today, I can only say one thing: Let’s all get behind @ZelenskyyUa 💯 ✊🏻 People whose countries haven’t recently experienced the trauma of invasion should not bully nor lecture those who have. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

This is utterly repulsive! Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office. Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy. Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine. Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

I'm shocked and saddened by Rick's passing. I'm thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey! (1/4 - P.W)

Cycling was, is and never will be the goal. Instead #cycling is the humble means to effectively solve a lot of complex challenges.

Improving the quality of our city streets is not a complicated technical challenge. It is a fairly simple political choice! This #Fietsstraat in Tilburg leads to: 🐦 Quieter mornings; 🌫️ Cleaner air; 🫂 More social connections; ⏩ Faster traffic flow.

A smart city is not measured by the amount of shiny gadgets, its data gathering novelties or its latest mobility innovations. Instead, your city is smart when you see children cycling there autonomously, joyfully and free. (📹 by @NorwichCycling)

The Dutch🇳🇱 don't arrive by bike at the #TrainStation. Instead, they arrive by train at the #BikeStation! 🚆 50% of train travellers arrive by bike. 🚲 33.000 bike parking spots around Utrecht CS. 💰 30 million Euro investment. (📹: @defilmendefietser )

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) expected by 2050.

🌳 Paris is voting on turning more of its streets into green, people-friendly spaces—cooling cities, cleaning air, and fostering community. Democratizing urban planning can inspire innovation and inclusivity. More info: ouest-france.fr/ile-de-franc…

Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #tech #GreenNewDeal
